Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
Reliable battery storage designed to stabilise power and eliminate or reduce generator dependence.
At Kweli Energy, we design and deploy lithium battery energy storage systems that improve power stability, reduce diesel generator runtime, and optimise energy use.
Battery storage captures excess solar generation and releases it when needed — during peak demand, grid outages, or voltage instability.
BESS can be integrated into new captive solar systems or retrofitted into existing grid or generator-based power systems.
Why battery energy storage systems matter
In many parts of Uganda and East Africa, grid supply is inconsistent and voltage fluctuations are common.
For commercial and industrial clients:
- Voltage instability affects sensitive equipment
- Generator fuel and maintenance costs increase operating expenses
- Peak demand charges and inefficient energy usage affect margins
For residential clients:
- Power cuts interrupt daily life
- Backup systems are unreliable or undersized
- Generator noise and fuel costs become a burden
Battery storage stabilises supply, protects essential loads, and elmininates or reduces reliance on diesel generators.
Where BESS works best
Battery energy storage systems are well suited for:
- Commercial buildings and offices
- Industrial and manufacturing facilities
- Hotels and hospitals
- Schools and institutions
- Private homes and residential estates.
They are particularly effective where grid instability or high diesel generator usage affects performance.
